How much of this is true, I wonder?

I can only guess that a lot of individuals find refuge by being on the internet. People tend to be less uptight and accommodating in places where people congregate online, may it be in chat rooms, dating sites, social networking site or even blogs. You have to, otherwise, no one will come visiting your profile, website, blog or chat with you. The source of comfort can be the anonymity or perhaps the chance to re-invent themselves or something else. Like I said, I can only speculate.

Personally, I’ve already met quite a number of online contacts in person and a few have become real friends and yes, I even met the guy I’m with now, online. But these don’t automatically mean that it’s easier to meet people online because I believe it depends on the individual. I spend a lot of time online, you see. My work requires me to be on the internet at least 80% of the time, hence, meeting a lot of people online. But I make sure I still spend time offline, going to clubs, parties, events or simply hanging out with my friends. In all occasions, I know I have ample opportunity to meet people. All i need to do is to practice the same friendliness then like how I am friendly and accommodating online.

Your turn. Do you think it is easier to meet people online or offline? Or it doesn’t really matter? Care to share your own experience of meeting people?

Meeting People Online is Easier

We’ve all met significant others at school, work, church or through a relative or friend and even on the internet isn’t all that different these days – so what about the old saying “when it’s meant to happen, love will find you?”

What’s the most unique way in which you or someone you know has met their partner or former long term relationship love?

Is the produce isle really what it used to be?

I’ll start…

A couple I know who’ve been happily married for over 10 years met at the local parent meeting place for the exchange of kids on visitation nights.

Every Wednesday and every other Friday, our local McDonald’s seems like an ocean filled with single parents trading off kids.  I have to admit, it’s a cleaver way of meeting people and to know they are obviously single and even what weekends they’re likely to be free.

Now it’s your turn
